Last weekend I joined Vickie (.ping) + Ricky for their wedding at , a brilliantly boutique barn venue between Harewood & Harrogate in Yorkshire.

I knew when I met these guys we were a match! Vickie has a wicked sense of humour, they have a cuuuuute pooch and as a pair they’re quick to laugh! All a win for me…

What they’re not quick at is getting married! They’ve been engaged for no less than 27 years! (after meeting at the infamous Leeds pub the Chained Bull – an old haunt of mine!)

But that relaxed vibe showed itself as a great flavour at the wedding, which was chilled and chock full of fun*
*Read: Booze!

After the boys and their Schnauzer Molly had donned buttonholes in the farmhouse I joined the girls to gown up (and do a few final dumbell curls!) we headed down to the ceremony in the North Barn. Out through a hail of confetti the newlyweds emerged for fizz, delicious canapés and a quick groups in front of Wharfedales rolling hills and meadows.

After hilarious speeches (& a fun poem from pal Sarah), a delicious wedding breakfast was served in the South Barn, followed by a surprise Singing Waiter! Once everyone had caught their breath from conga lines and waving napkins to That’s Amore, it was back out for cocktail hour! Pornstar or Espresso, that is the question?!

Before we knew it it was time to cut the cake, do a dancefloor groupshot have a boogie to ‘Walking on Sunshine’ with confetti cannons blasting…

It was fab to join this lovely pair (and Molly!) and fab to be back at Wharfedale Grange (props to Camilla & Emma for all their hard graft in the background).

Check out Sophie + Sam's extended wedding highlights post from their epic wedding at Riverlands, a stunning, renovated Barn Wedding Venue near Goole in East Yorkshire!

It's always fab to discover new venues and this could well become a new fave! Even better when it's a fun, creative family you've shot a wedding for before!

Plus it's the first time I've seen the peg game done at a wedding! Brilliant.

Yesterday I joined Sophie & Sam for their EPIC wedding at Riverland Wedding Barns near Goole in East Yorkshire - arguably my new favourite venue in all of Yorkshire!

Not only was everything about the barns perfectly styled and planned for a relaxed, funky wedding, but this couple and their fam and friends were just a delight to be around. (I shot Sophie’s sister Pip’s wedding a few years back and it was so good to see everyone again!).

This creative, musical couple (and their army of planners and helpers) thought of everything; from Pip taking on the role of Celebrant (& brownie baker!), a best pal being ‘Mistress of Ceremonies’ (according to Dad’s description anyway!) and Sam’s brother and pro singer bridesmaid leading guests in singing Africa by Toto to end the blessing!

Details (& The BBQ Diner!) were a delight - from homemade lawn games to the epic mountain of brownies! Their little one year old Amelia was front and centre enjoying all the shenanigans, and the Kyler & Kate from Riverlands ran everything with a professional chilled precision. (They even got involved in ‘the peg game’ where guests secretly clipped clothes pegs on each other and I’m still finding them hanging off my camera bag!)

My wingman Paul Stott and I had a blast with this fab crowd, and can’t wait to share more pics soon. But in the meantime, enjoy this frankly brilliant day at this fab venue!

May the fourth be with you! This year my pooch is the biggest baddie from the Bark Side: ‘Emperor Pawpatine’

As always on this silly date, a very happy ‘Star Wars Day’: ‘May the Fourth’ be with you 😉 Our Border ‘Terrorist’ Connie has been with us for 2 years now and this year and I pondered on what Star Wars fancy dress pet character to dress her up as… I thought it was time […]

Last Friday I was on a secret mission to photograph a proposal of Obert to his partner Chim at Farmer Copleys () Tulip Festival on Ravensknowle Farm near Pontefract!

We concocted a plan to meet at the Tulip Fields (as though I was a photographer who works there) to do a portrait photoshoot. Before they arrived I scouted the space for the perfect spot to propose, and gave Obert a clue where that’d be as he slipped me the ring box with a spare pair of shoes! 💍

Off we went for a few pics, and a wink from Obert and I positioned Chim to stand in front of him looking towards the background… then he dropped to one knee! I could only just hear his lovely proposal and she screamed and welled up! 😭

What a moment to be part of! An absolute delight. Then we went back to the car, fixed teary makeup, swapped outfits and went again for another shoot as fiancees! 📷

It’s such a pleasure to do this kind of thing, so nice to be part of someone’s beautifully planned engagement and what a location to do it, in this vibrant sea of coloured Tulips! 💐

On Saturday I joined Olivia + James for their wedding photography at Bowcliffe Hall, Yorkshires best kept secret country house (hidden in Bramham, between Leeds and Wetherby)

This lovely pair are legit high school sweethearts! They met when they were 12, started dating at 15 and over the past decade having gone through exams and driving tests and now live in Bramhope with their rescue lurcher pooch Pippa! (Sadly the combination of white dresses and jumpiness meant Pip didn’t join us though).

My wingman Paul Stott joined James and Team Groom (to watch them figure the Windsor knot!) in the Drivers Club while I captured Olivia get into her stunning high-necked, long-sleeved gown! After an emotional dad reveal said mum it’s the first time she’s seen dad speechless!

After an elegant ceremony under a huge floral arch in Bowcliffe’s former dining room, we headed outside for congratulatory cuddles. Spitty Spring weather almost called play, but minutes later the sun was shining over our confetti tunnel! This was followed by my first blessing in Bowcliffe Hall’s tiny chapel!

A few portraits in the lovely gardens and we were back with guests enjoying nibbles, fizz and Jenga. After the meal singing waiters whipped the room into chaotic conga lines and sing alongs! Aftere speeches we hit the Blackburn Wing (shaped like an actual wing!) to cut the dog topped cake and dance the night away!

It was such a wonderful day and was great as always to work with Becky, Molly and the amazing Bowcliffe team.

I've just posted part 2 of the photo trip I made to Pakistan with dear photo buddies Hamish Irvine & Kristian Leven Photography 🇵🇰

The contrasting cities of Lahore and Karachi were both fascinating and beautiful, and the perfect road test for my new all-in-one Tamron 35-150mm lens 📸

A chap I met in a mosque said that the job of photography is ‘disclosing realities’ and I couldn’t agree more. Pakistan is a much misunderstood country and as you’ll see, it was a joy to explore…♥️
